Is decidedly interesting. The Republicans
have majority OF representatives in
twenty States out Of the thrty.cight, as
follows: California Colorado, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mas,achu.
solts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey
Nevada, New York, Ohio. Oregon, Penn.

ginia and Wisconsin. The Democrat, have
the following seventeen States Alabama
Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, MARYLAND,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
aud West Virginia. New llnmp-hip is a
tie. II is u curious thing that u change OF
two seats would give the Democrats u mt
jority Of votes by States. The Indiana
delegation stand seven Republicans aud
six Democrats. The Michigan delegation
